From the author of "Train Madness," Model Train Madness tells the
story of the author's obsession with model trains. The book
describes the author's early interest in model trains starting with
the Lionel train sets he received as Christmas presents as a child.
It continues with how this interest was renewed when he was a young
man by visits to a HO scale model railroad in his neighbor's
basement, to building his own model railroad, then building one for
his three children and later expanding it to be part of his model
railroad layout. The book then covers the evolution of his model
railroad over time to become based on other real railroads. The
planning, construction, research, operating sessions, prototypical
operations, modeling of locomotives and freight cars, adding
scenery, and even building an operating model of a Great Lakes
Carferry are all described in this book. Many photographs of the
model railroads described in the book are included. If you love
model railroading or find it to be a hobby you would like to start
doing, Model Train Madness was written for you. If you know someone
who loves model trains, they would love to read this book of the
adventures of another person with Model Train Madness.

For those people just starting to learn how to fly RC aircraft, or
for those thinking about entering this great hobby, there are often
questions that come up that need answers. Questions about what type
of aircraft to purchase, how to learn best how to fly your aircraft
and how to get the most for your money on your RC equipment. Then
there are questions regarding safety, maintenance and countless
other things that might make the difference between getting
frustrated and being thrilled with your new RC equipment. Hobby
stores and online retailers are one source for information but too
many of them today recommend by what costs more or makes them the
most profit or commission. For the beginner or novice pilot, those
are certainly not the best criteria on which to base your decision.
Getting Started with RC Aircraft will give you the answers to those
questions and a lot more to help you get started with the best
choices while spending the least amount of money. Even more
important, we will show you how to get the most fun and enjoyment
from your RC equipment and how to keep it in top shape as well. If
you are new to RC flying, or just considering getting into this
awesome hobby, then this is the book for you. It is the perfect
introduction to RC flying for people of all ages.
